More Than a Medal Documentary
The Robb Centre gives our deepest appreciation to the following venues that have screened MORE THAN A MEDAL; the National U.S. Army Museum, the U.S. Navy Museum and Memorial, the St. Louis International Film Festival, and Sequoyah National Research Center at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock.
The first screening was held at the National World War I Museum and Memorial, Kansas City, Missouri, on 24 March 2022, in celebration of National Medal of Honor Day on 25 March.
MORE THAN A MEDAL is now available to the public! MTAM is a feature documentary made by Lame Deer Films (Generation Fuerza, 2018) in cooperation with the Valor Medals Review Team at the George S. Robb Centre (Park University, Parkville, MO). The film, produced over the course of several years, interweaves the efforts of the researchers working against time, untold heroic stories of courage on the battlefields of France and the experience of modern day descendants as they maintain cautious hope that their family members will be recognized. This compelling tapestry asks hard questions about what it means to be an American and debates how we as citizens can heal the wrongs of the past.
